Brilliant Light Show Decorates Osan Stream for 37th Osan Citizens Day

[Suwon Ilbo=Park Chan-hyuk Reporter] Osan City successfully held a 'Drone Light Show & Landscape Lighting Ceremony' on the evening of the 24th at Osan Stream to commemorate the '37th Osan Citizens Day.'

The event, which was postponed due to rain in September, was held together with the '3rd Osan Stream Starry Night Film Festival,' presenting citizens with an unforgettable autumn evening celebration that harmonized light, music, cutting-edge technology, and culture.

The main programs included △the 'Starry Night Film Festival' that sensitively adorned the autumn evening of Osan Stream △the 'Landscape Lighting Ceremony' that simultaneously illuminated Namchon Bridge, Osan Bridge, and Eungye Bridge △and the 'Drone Light Show,' the highlight of the event. Six hundred drones unfolded a grand narrative of light in the night sky themed around Osan's history and future vision, captivating the eyes of citizens.

The drone light show opened the festival's curtain with the appearance of Osan City's mascot 'Kkasani' alongside the hashtags '#OSAN #CITIZENSDAY.' Subsequently, scenes symbolizing Doksan Fortress, the winter festival 'Oh! Happy Santa Market,' transportation infrastructure (KTX, GTX-C, and tram), and the AI semiconductor industry were depicted, visually expressing the vision of 'Future City Osan.'

During the landscape lighting ceremony held simultaneously, eight officials including Osan Mayor Lee Kwon-jae, the City Council chairman, Gyeonggi Province Assembly members, and city councilors together pressed the lighting buttons in a symbolic performance that illuminated the three bridges.

The moment the buttons were pressed, three drones rose into the sky and sequentially illuminated the lights on each bridge, drawing cheers. With the lighting that day, the three bridges were connected as one through light colors, further enhancing the nighttime landscape quality of Osan Stream.

The city plans to continue expanding urban nighttime cultural infrastructure centered on the Osan Stream through nighttime landscape development and connection with year-round festivals, providing spaces where citizens can stay and enjoy.

Mayor Lee Kwon-jae stated, "Today's drone light show was a moment when Osan's history, future, and citizens' dreams all shined brightly," and added, "We will complete Future City Osan where transportation, industry, and culture harmonize."
